    Abstract:
    Working with other health science professionals in order to promote positive client outcomes is common practice in many rehabilitation delivery areas. The evolution of health care delivery seems to expect more efficient and cost effective client care, therefore the introduction of blended professional teams is moving to the forefront of professional education. As such, providing opportunities to health science students to experience the roles and practice of other professions during the academic portion of their education, Interprofessional Education (IPE), has become and expectation of accrediting bodies. The Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) has included standards related to IPE (ACOTE, 2012). The most recent ACOTE standards, effective July 2013, require occupational therapy educators to provide interprofessional collaborative situations to increase student awareness of and participation in interprofessional learning (ACOTE, 2012). This article describes some of the IPE experiences of one small university as well as provides suggestion for other occupational therapy educational programs to move forward to meeting the newly established accreditation standards.
